FREED BRITISH CAPTIVES SAY THEY WERE IMPRISONED AND CUFFED

Now it seems like the British sailors/marines are being forced to condemn Iran for arresting them, including blindfolding, cuffing and jailing. The spin begins. The BBC here gives personal recollections of some of the sailors during the captivity. I see no torture nor extreme treatment. Look for your self.

I see where some Britons are wondering why the sailors, when in Iran, said nice things about the Iranians, as if that in se were a punishable offense. Why are some Britons so hostile towards Iran? Why does the official position of the British government incorporate such animosity towards Iran and the Iranians? Was it reasonable for Iran to arrest the British sailors or not? Did they stray into Iranian sovereign waters or not? If they did, which is a 50/50 possibility, then the actions of Iran are reasonable and justified, and Tony Blair and some in the U.K. should quit whining.
